Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices thick-cut bread brioche or white bread works best
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons honey pure honey preferred
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt fine grain
  • 1 tablespoon butter for toasting the bread
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon optional, for sprinkling

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix vigorously with a fork or whisk until completely smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes. The mixture should be light and creamy.
  2. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, swirling to coat the pan evenly.
  3. Place the bread slices in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side until golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the second side until evenly toasted.
  4. Remove the toast from the skillet and immediately spread a generous amount of honey butter on the hot toast while it is still warm. The heat will help the honey butter melt into the bread.
  5. If desired, sprinkle a light dusting of cinnamon over the honey butter toast for extra flavor.
  6. Serve the honey butter toast immediately while warm and the butter is still melting. Enjoy with your favorite breakfast beverage.

Notes

The secret to perfect honey butter toast is using room temperature butter so it whips up light and fluffy. Make extra honey butter and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For the crispiest toast, use day-old bread as it has less moisture and will crisp up better in the pan.
